Ocean Gardens Covid-19 Pandemic Plan 2020<\/strong><\/h3>

Pandemic Emergency Plan<\/strong><\/h3>

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Communication plan:<\/strong><\/h4>

A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Facility will update authorized family members and guardians of infected residents at least once per day and upon a change in a resident’s condition and at least once a week via robo call \/ memo notification to update all residents and authorized families and guardians on the number of infections and deaths at the facility.<\/p>

B.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Recreation will help facilitate communication via facetime or telephone for residents, families and guardians who wish to communicate with their loved ones at no cost.<\/p>

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hospitalized patients Admissions\/Readmission Plan:<\/strong><\/h4>

A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upon admission\/ readmission all residents will be swabbed for covid, and placed on isolation in a single room or an empty semiprivate room and monitored until determination of test result.<\/p>

B.\u00a0 Residents that have a confirmed case of COVID \u201319 can cohort with other residents who have a confirmed COVID-19 on Covid wing.<\/p>

C.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Residents with suspected or confirmed COVID \u201319 will have a plastic cover on the front entry of their rooms, and have the signage on the door indicating Droplet and Contact precautions with designated PPE Inside and outside the rooms.<\/p>

D.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All efforts will be made to have consistent caregivers assigned to residents with suspected or confirmed COVID \u2013 19. These staff members will not float to other units.<\/p>

E.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upon receipts of negative swab resident will be monitored for an additional three days for signs and symptoms. Post three days of no signs and symptoms resident will transfer to negative Covid unit\/section.<\/p>

F.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In accordance with facility policy, all applicable laws and regulations. Facility will preserve a bed for residents who are hospitalized. \u00a0<\/p>

A.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Facility has a 60 day stock pile of N95, gloves, face shields, gowns and surgical masks. We have adequate supply of hand sanitizer, hand soap and disinfectants. We will continue to order additional items through contracted vendors to build up inventory. The stock pile of Personal Protective Equipment at the facility is being monitored through an inventory system. When items become depleted, more will be ordered.\u00a0 It is essential that inventory stays up-to-date so that items can be ordered in a timely manner.\u00a0 We realize that the current demand for PPE is higher (and could stay that way for quite some time), therefore, we will need to take into account the length of time it may take to receive the ordered items.\u00a0 We hope to continue to use the same vendors that we had originally ordered from, but we do have a backup in place.<\/p>

12. Ensure adequate staffing levels during a pandemic:<\/p>

–\u00a0 Before requesting volunteers, we must first assess the situation to determine whether or not we can provide certain services for volunteers such as (food and lodging).<\/p>

– Requests for volunteers can be made via https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/site\/helpnownyc\/get-help\/organizations.page<\/p>

Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)<\/p>

Job posting sites (indeed)<\/p>

–\u00a0 An appropriate level of supervision must be provided to volunteers at all times. The supervisor’s job is to ensure that volunteers understand their responsibilities, know how to carry out their work, and are meeting performance and standards, especially in regards to safety. Supervision ensures volunteers are correctly utilizing necessary supplies and equipment and not creating a situation which may cause harm to others. Volunteer coordinators and other employees working with volunteers should be trained to recognize signs of critical incident stress among volunteers.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Volunteers who are deployed must be accounted for from the initiation of assignments through demobilization.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Developing a plan for orienting, training and supervising volunteers is essential to the successful involvement of volunteers in disaster response and recovery efforts. Training helps ensure safe volunteer operations, tells volunteers they are being taken seriously, helps maintain consistency and quality of services, and helps protect the interest and assets of the facility.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Volunteers should be oriented to the organization and the disaster situation. The facility’s disaster mission, key policies and procedures, safety instructions, a tour of necessary facility sites.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Volunteers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all information to which they are exposed while serving as volunteer, whether this information involves a single staff, volunteer, resident, or other person or involves overall facility business.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Failure to maintain confidentiality may result in termination of the volunteer’s relationship with the facility or other corrective action.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Healthcare professional Volunteers<\/p>

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These are volunteers that have some type of medical expertise, such as physicians, nurses, EMTs, and CNA\u2019s.<\/p>

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The facility will ensure volunteers have all the information and resources they need to adequately respond to an emergency and maintain existing standards of care.<\/p>

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Healthcare professional Volunteers must have a current valid, unencumbered license<\/p>

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Orientation and Training for Healthcare Professional Volunteers will include shadowing and\/or mentoring for 1-2 hours, a tour showing volunteers storage and resource locations, reporting structures, and other important places.<\/p>
